HAPPY BOXING DAY!

The Beguiling, Little Island, and Page & Panel’s

Boxing Day Sale 2015!

Well hello! If you’re reading this, you’re probably one of the folks who eagerly anticipates this mailing, coming as it has for years on Christmas Eve, detailing all of the great special deals we’ll be unveiling on Boxing Day. So, we hope you have (or had) a great holiday, and we’ll see you on the morning of the 26th at 11am.

Boxing Day Sales!

Phase 01: Everything except back issues: Dec 26 – Dec 29
Pages 02: Back issues and wall books: Jan 2 – Jan 5
PLUS: Page & Panel: The TCAF Shop, Boxing Day SpecialsDecember 27th through December 31st. Scroll to the bottom for details!

The short version: Only 2 weeks of sales are planned!

So we’re doing something a little different this year! We’ve been doing a long run of sales for the past few years, but this year, your window is a lot tighter, and the discounts are great!

Also, in other years we’ve done deep discounts on single issues in the weeks going into January & February. This year we’ve been discounting some of that same inventory into the space above Little Island, which we call “The Longbox Archipelago.” If you have not checked this out you really owe it to yourself! This space is closed on December 26th, but will be open during Little Island’s regular business hours thereafter. Ask at Little Island’s front desk to be shown in. And as always, keep your eye on the mailing list for further details…!
